A new serine proteinase inhibitor, rapeseed trypsin inhibitor (RTI), has been isolated from rapeseed (Brassica napus var. oleifera) seed. The protein inhibits the catalytic activity of bovine beta-trypsin and bovine alpha-chymotrypsin with apparent dissociation constants of 3.0 x 10(-10) M and 4.1 x 10(-7) M, at pH 8.0 and 21 degrees C, respectively.

Abstract
A new serine proteinase inhibitor, rapeseed trypsin inhibitor (RTI), has been isolated from rapeseed (Brassica napus var. oleifera) seed. The protein inhibits the catalytic activity of bovine beta-trypsin and bovine alpha-chymotrypsin with apparent dissociation constants of 3.0 x 10(-10) M and 4.1 x 10(-7) M, at pH 8.0 and 21 degrees C, respectively. The stoichiometry of both proteinase-inhibitor complexes is 1:1. The amino acid sequence of RTI consists of 60 amino acid residues, corresponding to an M(r) of about 6.7 kDa. The P1-P1' reactive site bond has been tentatively identified at position Arg20-Ile21. RTI shows no similarity to other serine proteinase inhibitors except the low molecular weight mustard trypsin inhibitor (MTI-2). RTI and MTI-2 could be members of a new class of plant serine proteinase inhibitors.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
